When you delete a file from a Windows hard disk normally, the system only says the file will be moved to the Recycle Bin. Recycle Bin gives us one more chance to restore the mistakenly deleted files without using a data recovery tool.
However, when you delete a file by pressing the Shift + Delete key, Windows will delete the file directly without moving it to the Recycle Bin. When you empty the Recycle Bin or delete files from the Recycle Bin, you will lose the only chance to restore the mistakenly deleted files to the original partition.
It’s been my habit for a long time that I always delete files by pressing Shift+Delete which tends to permanently remove files without hitting the recycle bin so that they can’t be restored from there.
A few days ago I permanently (Shift+Delete) deleted a very important file of mine from the hard drive of my Windows laptop by mistake and repented on my this habit.
But while searching a solution to recover the permanently deleted files from my Windows computer, I found a data recovery software called “iCare Data Recovery” and you won’t believe I restored my file using this software.

A Few More Things You Need to Know!
We all know that it’s easily possible to recover a deleted file from a recycle bin in Windows. Even if you deleted a file permanently from your hard drive, it’s still possible to recover it which is now proved with this article.
The truth behind it is that when you permanently delete a file from your computer, it actually never gets deleted but Windows just marks that space (occupied by that file) as available for new data storage.
Thus you need to stop writing new data to the partition where files were deleted to protect the deleted files from being overwritten.
So, it’s now proved that all types of files are recoverable whether they are deleted permanently from hard drive partition or Recycle Bin.
In case of normally deleted files, they can be recovered from the recycle bin and if you delete them permanently, by using a data recovery software like iCare Data Recovery files can be recovered.
